How to Coach Yourself and Others Popular Models for Coaching | Page 235

We still haven't found out a way of getting into people's minds
and fully understand what their perception of reality is, this is
unique to every single one of us. What we can do, is try to
understand what our particular perception is to try and broaden
our horizon. By consciously engaging in asking ourselves what
something “means” to us, we can choose the route we want to
take towards achieving a goal. Insight comes from this process
of developing more and more ways of understanding ourselves.

Plan
The plan (P2) leads to the Target. It will be a process, not a
series of choices.
Every plan is actually a process, life is full of twist and turns so
having something etched in stone is probably not in your best
interest. You constantly have to revise, look at and course
correct. While the shortest way to two points is a straight line,
we all know that life is complicated and we should remain
flexible enough to change course if needed.

Pace
Pay attention next time you're driving on the highway, if you
notice you'll see distance markers every so often, these are
meant to give an idea of how far you've gone. When you
establish goals, you need to know and have a system to measure
your progress. By when will you achieve this goal?

Adapt or Act
It is important to adequately review the Plan before seeking
commitment.
